They did not desire my counsel; they despised all my reproof.

But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, to make the wrath of Jehovah swell up against His people, till there was no healing.

because they rebelled against the Words of the Mighty God, and despised the counsel of the Most High;

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been immersed by him.

They did not desire my counsel; they despised all my reproof.

and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction;

Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge; but he who hates correction is brutish.

But My people would not heed My voice, and Israel would have none of Me.
